Clever Dog

Clever Dog

A large dog walks into a butcher's shop with a purse in its
mouth. He puts the purse down and sits in front of the
meat case. "What is it, boy?" the butcher asks, joking
around with his customers. "Want to buy some meat?"

"Woof!" barks the dog.

"Hmm," says the butcher. "What kind? Liver, bacon, steak--"

"Woof!" interrupts the dog.

"And how much steak? Half a kilo, one kilo--"

"Woof!" says the dog. The amazed butcher wraps up the
meat and finds the money in the dog's purse.

As the dog leaves, the butcher decides to follow. The dog
enters an apartment house, climbs to the third floor, and
begins to scratch on the door. With that, the door swings
open and an angry man starts shouting at the dog.

"Stop!" yells the butcher. "What are you doing? That's the
most clever animal I've ever seen!"

"Clever?" counters the man. "This is the third time this week
he's forgotten his keys!"
